Principal's Desk
Weekly UpdatesParticipation in CYO sports events is yet another example of the fallout from COVID-19. Since Holy Rosary students spend their school day with their cohort, there are obviously stipulations to mixing with other cohorts or students outside of the Rosary. Not wishing the children to miss out on one more thing, John Boyce and his CYO team have come up with a clever and safe way for our students to engage in athletic events. For eight Saturday mornings in October and November, students are once again cheering, chanting, and competing! Middle schoolers are challenged to see how many laps through a cross country course they can run in twenty-five minutes. Younger students are maneuvering their way through an obstacle
course complete with zigzags and jumps. Their goal is to see how fast they can complete the course, and then try it again to see if they can beat their first time. Each cohort has a scheduled time which ensures everyone’s safety and preserves the cohort. To add to the excitement of the weekend events, John’s team plans to change out the contests weekly. Next on the lineup are Spartan races. Nothing beats Fall, fitness, and fun! -

Monthly Letter
Dear Parents and Guardians,
On behalf of our faculty and staff, I welcome everyone back to school, and a special, warm Holy Rosary welcome to our new families. What a different year this will be if the start is any indication! We are off on the right foot, and with your prayers and partnership, we will have another wonderful year.
We thought we knew how much we missed our students these past few months, but now that we are together again, we realize just how much. It is a delight to see the children in the hallways-skipping down the sensory path, hearing their laughter, and listening to their responses in the classrooms. Little Frankie in PreK4 greets me several times each day with, “hi principal.” That simple, sweet greeting makes my day! As the teachers master their new techniques, they too share how much they love having a class of students in front of them. There is an air of excitement because we are together again albeit 6 ft apart and with masks. Even our virtual students seem more energetic.
Our 5th grade chose St. Peter Claver for their study for the Saint of the Month. St. Peter was a Jesuit priest who ministered to the slaves brought to Cartagena, now Columbia, during the early 1600’s. His message of love, charity, and social justice still resonates today. He taught those who disagreed with his help to the slaves, that we are all children of God, and we should act with mercy, and treat others with dignity. With our present social climate, this message couldn’t be more vital. It is our responsibility as Catholics who are living Jesus’s message to step forward and be the St. Peter Claver of 2020. In our classes this year, we are discussing with your children the fair treatment of all peoples, and we encourage you to continue this discussion with them at home.
Thank you again for entrusting your children to us. We take this responsibility seriously, and we promise first and foremost to teach them to live as Jesus did. We will prepare them to be good citizens and hopefully instill in them a love of learning.
God’s Graces to you!
Mrs. Gilman

Pastor's Corner
Dear Holy Rosary School Family,
The C
oronavirus!!
The world and our nation have been brought to their knees. Now is the time to recognize that we need God. If we look closely, we’ll notice that for too long God has been only on the periphery of society. So many people who don’t publicly worship Him! So many people who don’t go to Mass! So many people who could care less that He has given them His Body and Blood and the Sacrament of Reconciliation! So many who pay little attention to Our Lady’s messages in her apparitions over the years! Has God become just a good luck charm to be implored when we have problems?
